Lilacs and Peonies in Two Vases — Gustave Caillebotte | Art Postcard

Two separate bouquets share one canvas: white lilacs spill from a plain green vase while pink peonies rise from a patterned blue-and-white jardinière beside it, both set on a richly patterned cloth that gives the scene an interior, parlor-room feel rather than a garden view. Pairing two arrangements with their own vase and their own logic is unusual among Caillebotte's still lifes — a deliberate study in contrast, cool white against warm pink, plain glaze against ornament.
